Lyrics
Bra Burning Pizza
(sung by restaurant patrons)
Men: Some things will make you blush and squirm
Go ahead, I’m all ears
You’ve never seen a thing like this
Okay, okay, I’m all ears
It’s going to make you blush and squirm
I’m still here, I’m all ears
Or maybe sit up in your seat
You can never be sure
Okay, okay, just try me
Just what the fair sex will do
So tell us won’t you?
Well it started near the floor
So tell me, tell me, tell me more
At the level of the street
Where foot and pavement meet
I saw it
You didn’t
I did
No, no, you didn’t
First came off their shoes, their heels
From beneath their high arched feet
They’re now barefoot on the street
Then their hands went up their skirts
Oh, stop! Oh, no-oh
It’s going to make you blush and squirm
Go ahead, I’m all ears
You’ve never seen a thing like this
Okay, okay, I’m all ears
It’s going to make you blush and squirm
I’m still here, I’m all ears
Or maybe sit up in your seat
Our eyes got big, our interest rose
Unclipped, unrolled now off they came
Their leg-compressing hose
And then it began
I saw it
You didn’t
I did
No, no, you didn’t
Blouses off and no more skirts
Traded in for pants and shirts
And the purpose of it all?
What’s the purpose of it all?
Remove that cursed bra-ah
Oh, stop! Oh, no-oh
Women: Lipstick, rouge?
All bad news
Toss the girdles?
They’re mere hurdles
We can be as tough as men
We can swear with the best of them
Wear the pants in the family
Look and talk like we’re manly
All: Oh, stop! Oh, no-oh
Oh, stop! Oh, no-oh
